Summary of the book: I must say I love this book! This is not the typical three little pig story that you heard when you grow up. The wolf goes to the first house to blow it down. This house was made out of straw. The big bad wolf blows the pig out of the actually story line. Oh how cute this story is! Then the wolf goes to the next house and the wolf knocks on the door. He blows the second pig out of the story line and joins the first pig behind the pictures! During this time the wolf thinks he has ate the pigs! This book would be great to read to the children. Teach the children that looks can be deceiving. They can also learn the nursery rhyme.
